The Da Vinci Experience

An awesome show! I had no idea the scope of his genius. Aside from his amazing art work his ideas were well before his time. Hard to believe that was 500 yrs. ago. Check out the Diving Suit!!!

The DaVinci experience was awesome! The information was a little vague, the descriptions could have been more in-depth but over all the exhibit was cool to see. They had alot of Da Vincis inventions in life size form, some cool paintings and at the end they have a VR segment. The staff was friendly and seemed to enjoy the exhibit. I recommend it

The Leonardo da Vinci exhibit showcases his inventions first, then you go into the light show presentation room where you sit down and watch his life milestones. The VR experience was interesting because you got to see his inventions up close but during the loading screen, you can see Aaron (the person who created the VR program I think). Was pretty interesting.

I walked in thinking it would be a small little exhibit in a mall and I was blown away by what I experienced! The gallery of Da Vinci’s inventions, his life story, the light show with the most moving music that gave me chills, the VR room… all so breathtaking and unforgettable! Thank you so much @senseacanada for bringing Da Vinci to life! I’ll never forget it!

I really liked this exhibit. After seeing the Van Gogh experience at the Vancouver Convention Centre, I was curious to see the similarities and differences. While the Van Gogh experience was more impressive with the high visuals, the Da Vinci experience offered much more.You start off in a room with life-size models of Da Vinci’s sketches and some of his paintings. Each model has information attached to it and there is a good range that shows his talents in art, engineering and architecture. To cap things off in the first room is a selfie-friendly Mona Lisa.The next room is dedicated to the Last Supper. If you never get to Milan, this will give you a good idea of the painting and it will provide you with some good information too.The third room is similar to the Van Gogh experience where projectors show a nearly 360 degree digital presentation of Da Vinci’s work. Music accompanied the visuals and there are places to sit and watch.The exit has a VR experience that is interesting, but not amazing. It’s a nice way to finish the exhibit.Overall, I was pleased with the price and what was offered. I spent about an hour looking and learning and it set me back about $25.

I was disappointed with this exhibit based on the amount that we paid to enter. The information in the 1st and 2nd rooms was fascinating however the movie was just a repeat of what we had already read. Perhaps the movie should be shown first? The Mona Lisa exhibit is not wheelchair accessible either and that needs to be fixed.

This was such a nice experience. I really liked the fact that they had replicas of artifacts included. Enough supporting signage so one can learn about Leonardo Da Vinci, and yet not too much so one can take time and enjoy experience. Kids friendly as wellAnd you get to finish the experience with a 3D presentation. Awesome!!!Go see it. Definitely worth it

So well organized and balanced in terms of presentations. Loved to see the prototype and play with them. The immersive experience is well guided, I really like the focus they gave us for each presentation. The last immersive station was amazing, I would have spent way more time on it. Overall, well worthed outing. Will definitely go back if they bring a different exposition.

This was fun but there were definitely a few things they could have done to make the experience better. I enjoyed the exhibit portion but the interactive portion needed more attention to the detail. The room that the images were in had walls with portions of column sticking out. They should have furred out the walls so they could have had larger stretches of uninterrupted wall for the projections. That really wouldn't have cost them that much more when they put the exhibit together. The videos themselves were good, but the mirror script graphics and the gear graphics were extremely distracting and took away from the experience. Why would you have a graphics superimposed over a da Vinci painting is beyond me. You're supposed to feel like you're walking in his works, not surround by his screen savers. The VR also glitched and the videos and 3d renderings were pretty dated. With rendering software being where it is today, I expected a cleaner rendering without glitching or jumping. Adjustable headstraps would have been good too. A decent job, but lots of room for improvement. That is why I gave this a 4 instead of a 3. It has potential.

This is a great experience! Educational and immersive, I'd recommend this to all ages! We got to see a fantastic overview of Da Vinci's life and his creations, including life-size models of his inventions, and the workers there were very informative and ready to answer all of my questions!
